The Greenwood Alumni met for the 12th year
Memorial evening, May 30th for a buffet lunch. The menu was cheese and ham
sandwiches, pickles, ice cream, cake and coffee.

President Norman
Liebzeit called the group together and seated them according to classes starting
with Mrs. Nutt of 1902, Mrs. Einfeldt gave a touching prayer for the group and
Allan Wuethrich led group singing, accompanied by Lillian Warner. Mr. Fonstad
welcomed all the Alumni and introduced Carol Speich and Mitchell Smith, who
rendered a coronet duet, and Judith Behrens, a soprano role a piano selection by
Charles Ivey and a trombone solo by Paul Plautz.

Harvey Humke acted as
Master of Ceremonies, his talk was very witty and well given. One knew that
Harvey had put some time and thought on it. He called on several members for a
few words, most interesting were those of Fay Opdycke Schumacher, who has just
returned from Berlin, Germany and assured us there is no country like our
country. She of course had come the longest distance to attend the meeting.

President Norman Liebzeit appointed Donald Syth, Donald Speich, and Lois
Merkel Hare to the nominating committee. They in turn nominated the following:

Mrs. Nutt has long wanted to establish a scholarship sponsored by
the Alumni, and has always been disappointed. So this year she asked Mr. Fonstad
to explain how "Trees for Tomorrow" worked and what good it did. She then asked
for a plate to be passed to see how much we could collect to send students for
this good cause. There was a total of $26.71. We could send three more Greenwood
students next year. Mrs. Nutt commended Mabel Bishop for starting our
organization and asked that the secretary please write and tell Mable all about
our meeting this year. This will be done. Mrs. Nutt laughingly said she knew of
no one else who would have had the spunk to start such a group Mr. Fonstad had
said previously that he knew of no other school that had successful Alumni
meetings.

Beatrice Ketchpaw Clayton gave a history of the high school
from the beginning. In 1898 the four year course began. She closed her talk with
poetry about peace.

President Norman Liebzeit close the 12th successful
meeting of the G.H.S. Alumni.

The meal was prepared by Rose and Ruth
Meredith and served by Ruth Steele, Marlene Metzke, Joyce Meyer, Joan Colby,
Carol Stout and Janet Stiefvater.

I hope next year we can pass a plate
and buy some much needed silver or cups for our Home Ec room. We have only 83
forks and as many spoons, which explains why we laid only a fork or a spoon at
each place.
